    "Very very good. Perhaps a bit oily for my tastes but I overcame this by wrapping the cake in handy towels overnight (in an airtight container). There was a lot of oil absorbed (which made me feel a little better about eating it!) and yet the cake still remained very moist indeed. I would also halve the sultanas (you really only need about a tablespoon full - I really like sultanas but those, coupled with the orange zest and orange in the topping brings it dangerously close to fruitcake which is a no-go for most.

    "Excellent. Was dubious about mayonnaise but it works perfectly. Has gone down a treat with workmates. Easy peasy too. "

    "Fantastic - timings are perfect (but would recommend prepping the basil & garlic for the mash at the beginning as things get pretty quick once the fish and tomatoes are in the oven and the beans are on. Tip if you're on a budget - I substituted soya beans for normal beans and shelled a couple of dozen sugar snap peas to add the natural sweetness. Worked perfectly. Also - I didn't add the olive oil to the mash for health reasons and found that with a little extra pepper and basil that the mixture was still incredible. The best part of the dish was the fact that each of the items perfectly complemented eachother. I surprised myself as I'm not much of a cook. "
